Tales from the potty

Funny (and true) recent stories related to Potty Training:

1. Zoey has suddenly developed a certain shyness when it comes to her potty habits, which shocks me since Bryan and I both freely pee with the door open and hold conversations room-to-room during bowel movements. But whatever. I'm sure it's normal for a 2 1/2 year old to want some measure of privacy...right? Also, she's taken to emptying her own poo from her panties to the toilet, except for one day last week when she snuck in to the bathroom, stripped from the waist down and sent her shorts, underwear AND poo down the laundry chute. Luckily Bryan figured it out and retrieved the poo before I went downstairs, opened the trap door, and got the shock of my life. I don't think I would have survived that one. I can weather a lot of things but poop in the eye? Just might kick me over the edge.

2. Today we ventured out to the park with NO DIAPER. Only panties. It was more monumental for me than her, I think, because it means I'm just ready to commit to the whole process, damnit, and go all-out. Because seriously, I'm NOT going to buy another box of diapers. There were no accidents at the park, and she's even napping now with no diaper. We're both so brave. We probably both deserve stickers.
